Guess who came to visit during their spring break - Uncle Dan!!!!
Here was here for almost a week and it was super fun!!
Our first day we spent it driving down the coast and playing on the beach. It was pretty darn cold and windy, but beautiful!
Doesn't matter how cold it is, this one will always run through the waves
We found a cave to go explore!
Sandy and wet and cold
The next day we went up to the city to explore. Our first stop was the Palace of Fine Arts.
It was also cold and rainy and windy.
Our next stop was the Walt Disney Family Museum. This was our first time going, and it was amazing! Seriously so good. I loved every little bit of it and the girls were entranced the whole time. It was beautiful. I was on the verge of tears for a good portion of the museum - so many happy nostalgia memories of childhood memories. It was so happy!!!
The girls loved following the pictures for the story.
The beautiful paint colors...
This was a cool activity where you could listen to different music clips and picked which one matched best with the feeling of the little cartoon.
Danny Lamb!
After the museum we headed over to china town and got some dim sum for lunch - delicious!
My girls are such good little adventurous eaters.
We stopped by Pier 39 to tour around too. The piano stairs are always a happy stop.
Alcatraz off in the distance
Big ol' sea lions
That night for dinner we went out for sushi because we all love sushi!
The next day was our Alcatraz tour!! It was still rainy and cold, as it was every day Dan visited. But, the weather added to the creepiness of it all.
After Alcatraz we picked up Sean from work and went to the mission to get lotsa tacos!
We were all completely soaked after about 5 minutes, but it was totally worth it. So many good tacos!!
Sharing all the tacos!
Saturday morning I took Evette to a primary activity and the boys and Miriam went on a bike ride along Crystal Springs Reservoir
During the afternoon we went back into the city one last time. The Painted Ladies!
And last stop of the sutro baths. Also rainy and cold, but beautiful!
We had such a blast with uncle Dan visiting - the girls love him so much! Evette came out of bed on his last night crying because she was going to miss him so much. We're so lucky to have such a great family!!!
Since Dan's flight was ridiculously early in the morning, the same night/morning as day light savings, we just stayed up ridiculously late and took him to the airport a few hours early as opposed to waking up super early and taking him. To stay up, of course we were nerdy and played Age of Mythology. :)
We had a super fun time with Uncle Dan!!
